2)the player new to football got mixed up
3)He discovered and attempted to fix the error
4)And apologized for it

Why are you obsessed with this? It doesn’t offset failure to officiate. That’s the business of officiating. If games could be played without a single rule infraction or mistake there would be no officials. By your logic my team commits one penalty in a game, my player gets ejected for jumping offside and I can’t object because I didn’t coach him well enough to not jump offside? It is hard to withstand your absurdity. I hope you realize you are doing it.
You must have a great staff if you can pay this close attention to an official before the snap. You're not doing anything else? And you're still harping on it? Man.
